G'Day Fella's,

Larry, they say that to copy an existing design, is the ultimate in flattery (I can't remember the actual words)!
I've been looking for the same thing myself and have settled on the Dillon 600.

Hope that helps

Doh!

Have both. Started with the RCBS and for small batches it works fine though you do have to be a bit careful so as not to bend the rod-RCBS is superb on no charge, free delivery of the parts I ham handed.
Once I acquired 4000 crimped 5.56 mil surp I realized that I needed another way and bit the bullet and got the Dillon-works like a charm and probably 4x faster.
The last thing is probably just me but I somehow managed to squash my finger on a few occasions using the RCBS while trying to get the rod aligned and attempting a bit more speed.
Anyway, once set up properly the Dillon gets my vote.
